Wray & Nephew Rum

About Wray & Nephew Rom

Wray & Nephew is distilled in Jamaica and has been the natural starting point for Jamaican rum since the 1800s, both as a drink in its own right and as a building block in countless other rum brands on the island. Its unmistakable strength and intensity make it a must for anyone wanting to understand what Jamaican rum is really about.

History & Background

J. Wray & Nephew was founded in Jamaica in the 1800s and grew into the island's largest and most influential rum producer, with the iconic White Overproof as its flagship. Campari Group acquired the company in 2012 but has since preserved the traditional, high-strength style that has made the brand a fixture of Jamaican culture, from cocktails to religious ceremonies.

Production & Style

The rum is distilled from molasses in traditional Jamaican stills and bottled unaged at a full 63%, giving a raw, intense character quite different from aged rums.

Signature Style

Raw, Intense, Powerful
A raw, unfiltered intensity with pronounced ester notes and a powerful, fiery strength impossible to mistake for anything else.
